SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 343,704, dated June 15, 1886.

Application filed December 30, 1885. Serial No. 187,145, (No model.)

To all whom/it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD DRAKENFELD, of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sample-Cards, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved sample card for fiitters, metallics, flocks, and similar articles, so that the same can be conveniently inspected as to color, price, and quantity, and used in place of sample bottles or packages, which can only be handled with some inconvenience; and the invention con- 'sists of a sample-card made of a faceboard having openings and a backing, the fiitters or other articles being pasted into the depressions formed by face-board and backing.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a front elevation of my improved samplecard for flitters and similar articles, and Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the same on line or m, Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the face-layer of my improved sample-card, and B the backing of the same, which backing is made of paper or other suitable material. The face-layer Ais preferably made of pasteboard, and provided with a series of round or other openings, a, so as to form depressions into which flitters, mctallics, flocks, or other similar articles, 0, are secured by means of glue or other adhesive substances. \Vhen the adhesive substance has been applied to the surface of the depressions, the articles to be put on the card are sprinkled over the same, so as to adhere thereto. Every depression of the samplecard receives a different color of flitters, flocks, &c., and is marked with the price and number, so as to facilitate the selection and ordering of the articles. The whole forms a sample-card in which the fiitters or other articles are protected from rubbing off, so that it can be mailed with great facility and kept on hand for reference.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent A samplecard of metallics, flitters, and similar articles, consisting of a face-layer provided with a number of openings and a backing attached to the face-layer so as to form depressions, and fiitters or other suitable material secured in the depressions by suitable adhesive material, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
